Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Lots of my dreams are interesting for some definition of the word.
One minor thing that's fascinating is trying to read text on signs because if I look away and look back, the sign almost always says something else. Absolutely no temporal permanence. It's a dead giveaway that I'm in a dream.
One bigger thing that's always stuck with me is spatial weirdness. I had a dream as a kid which may have been based on a memory of being a baby and being carried from room to room, but there were five right-angled left turns each into different rooms with about the same amount of distance before each turn. It's easy to speculate what actually happened without violating Euclidean geometry if it was a memory-turned-dream, but it left my child self feeling fascinated and confused, because the last room should have been the first one, but it wasn't.
In a similar vein, and more recently, I found myself in a village or small town somewhere and I came to a T junction and knew I had to turn the third direction that was neither left nor right.
